The course will provide a comprehensive overview of the minimum facilities approach as applied to onshore pad-based unconventional developments. The course will detail the industry’s deep operation experience with the three key technologies essential for this transformation of the surface production facility: Key issues around automated well testing, artificial lift and flow assurance/slugging are also discussed.

The course will provide valuable insights into the benefits derived from this approach in area such as CAPEX/OPEX reduction, HSE risk reduction, improved reservoir management, increased EUR/rates,in-well artificial lift methods and deliquification. The goal of the course is to raise awareness of the immediate availability of the minimum facilities approach to improve economics for DUC pads and new field developments.
